duced to any extent that may be desired, whether for use in this State or beyond it, for the mere cost of paper and press-work. Besides this classic statement on the subject by one to whom, almost more than to any other person, our great overturn was due, the reader is referred to the files of the Frozen Truth, and of our Cambridge weeklies, and to a number of special articles prepared by various persons, and particularly by the longtime chairman of our Citizens' No-License Committee, Mr. Frank Foxcroft. All that can here be further said in this connection is to refer briefly, first, to the results, and then, to the methods of our excluding the saloon. Following is a tabular exhibit of the vote of Cambridge on this question since the State Local Option Law went into effect in 1881:β€” Tabular exhibit of vote.

for a park will ensure the preservation of the grove. The second Foxcroft, after giving up his public duties, seems to have revived his earlier associations by compiling a catalogue of the Harvard graduates down to 1763. The kindness of Mr. Frank Foxcroft, now residing in Cambridge, furnishes several details regarding this useful work, of which the compiler said, in presenting it to the Overseers,--I have taken as fair a copy of it as my poor state of health and hands would admit of; and the same is, with the utmost respect, presented to you for your acceptance, by your, once, for many years, brother; but now hearty well wisher and most humble servant, Fra: Foxcroft. This touch of his style may lead some readers to desire to see the plreamble of his Will, which he signed Oct. 29, 1765, two years and a half before his death:--I, Francis Foxcroft, of Cambridge in the County of Middlesex, within the Province of Massachusetts Bay in New England, Esquire, being mindful of my Mortall

It is to be explained only by a deliberate purpose, grounded in sound reason at the beginning, and sustained and justified by results. Cambridge voted in favor of license for five years after the local-option law became operative; the possibilities of that system were fully tested, and the first majority against license, at the election in December, 1886, expressed the protest of public sentiment against saloon arrogance, lawlessness and corruption.

After a few years it was managed solely by the First Evangelical Church. In 1863, a chapel was erected for the accommodation of the school, and as a missionary station.
